She Made It!!!!!

Yesterday, Julia tried out for Honors Orchestra, and she made it!!! We are so proud of her! She is pictured here with one of her violin teachers.

Stinky is just too big!!!

This evening, Stinky was looking for a new place to lay down. She decided inside Julia's bookbag was the perfect spot (until she realized she was too big for the it)! Watch this cute video of Stinky caught in the act, but try not to let her huge gut distract you!

It's Snowing!!

Yesterday, we had a lot of snow! It was Alex's first time ever seeing snow, so he was so excited! Julia & Alex made snowballs, ate snow, and made snowmen. Neither one of them wanted to come inside to warm up. They really enjoyed getting to slide down the hills!!! The only thing we all hated was this happened on a Saturday and NOT on a school/work day! Oh well.

Alex has plenty of confidence!

This morning, I had to take Alex to school. In the classroom before his, a little boy was taking off a fleece dinosaur hat that had spikes at the top of it. I said, "Look Alex--look how cute his hat is!" Alex replied, "Just like me!"
I don't think Alex is lacking in the confidence area!
